Goddamn. I laughed pretty hard at that.

Well now there's this...

Plans can change of course (and very well might after the first time they see the guys they have take the field) but if they stick to this, Mayfield is pretty much out of starting options.

Oh okay well they should keep him and just eat all that money then. He wasn't the long-term answer anyhow. Better than Sam? Of course so buy not worth taking on his big ass salary also and give up some sort of high draft pick. Browns probably just screed themselves by being so hard headed

The Seahawks faith in Drew Lock is one of the most wildly insane thingsI have seen in the NFL.

I love Pete Carroll but he is pure mush on this take.

Last weekend, the Panthers and Browns seemed to be trending toward a Mayfield trade. However, ESPN’s Jake Trotter reports that the two sides were never close to completing the deal. According to Trotter, neither side wanted to pay the majority of Mayfield’s nearly $19 million salary he is set to make in 2022.

By not finding a middle ground to pay the money, Carolina decided to trade up and select Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral in the third round instead.

We're in the exact same spot with Sam.  Nobody is going to want him and pay him 19 million dollars this year, so we're apparently stuck with him as starter until Matt beats him out.

I just have a massive feeling that the Browns will regret this entire undertaking before the end of the season. Watson is a landmine waiting to explode, they just pissed off a serviceable QB who can compete in their division AND gave up a ton of draft and cap capital to get where they are.

In a world of competitive sports, the Panthers were so lucky to be left on the outside of this looking in. Those poor Browns fans deserve better than this will probably turn out.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      Then why are they paying QBs so much compared to other players? QB are making so much it's harder and harder to pay other players. If a guy plays like 1 of 11 then there pay should be in line with that. Not all QB should be breaking the bank just because your next or a former 1st rounder There is a reason they say try to win it all on a QB rookie deal because after that they can cripple a team on what it can do. I would rather not do that for a bottom 1/3 QB. Cam and Jake have been the only QBs worth investing long term into this team has had I would rather not lower the bar. If a guy don't got the IT factor and it shows I would rather not invest long term into them and keep looking

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
